That is encouraging news, we can buy when the stock is still low. Did they talk about dividends, why they never paid a penny despite having eps of 1.84? That was my first question lol...yes they will pay a dividend this year...the reason why they didn't pay one in FY 2011 is that they paid one during the de merger in Q1 2011...I have a hard copy of the Annual Report its an interesting read...by the way Heritage is big in Tanzania...so basically CFCI is made up of 3 companies:- 1. Heritage 2. Cfc Life 3. Cfc Investment (dormant) The TZ operations contribute 11% of profits...Heritage Ins Kenya is struggling due to high claims from their Health and Motor divisions. Actually they paid Kes248.7mn last year as dividends which is approx Kes0.50 DPS which translates to a dividend yield of 6.3% at the current price of Kes7.90.
